Windsurfer's paradise. Very nice and long beach... windsurfing, kite-surfing.

Tsik from Russia wrote about Tarifa 4 years, 6 months ago

Great place for windsurfing and kitesurfing! Long sandy beaches, strong winds. Good for advanced surfers, wouldn't recomend to beginners.

Go for a spin by boat and see those hilarious monkeys climbing on mountains. Gibraltar is so different than Spain, but as we all know it isn't a part of Spain either. I recommend you to take a sightseeingtour by boat, which takes you around the cape.
